Chapter 78, 40 verses
Wonach fragen sie sich?
In the name of Allah, the Beneficent, the Merciful. Whereof do they question one another ?
Concerning what are they disputing?
عَمَّ يَتَسَآءَلُونَ
Nach der gewaltigen Kunde,
(It is) of the awful tidings,
Concerning the Great News,
عَنِ ٱلنَّبَإِ ٱلْعَظِيمِ
über die sie sich uneinig sind.
Concerning which they are in disagreement.
About which they cannot agree.
ٱلَّذِى هُمْ فِيهِ مُخْتَلِفُونَ
Keineswegs! Sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Nay, but they will come to know!
Verily, they shall soon (come to) know!
كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Abermals: Keineswegs! Sie werden (es noch) erfahren.
Nay, again, but they will come to know!
Verily, verily they shall soon (come to) know!
ثُمَّ كَلَّا سَيَعْلَمُونَ
Haben Wir nicht die Erde zu einer Lagerstatt gemacht
Have We not made the earth an expanse,
Have We not made the earth as a wide expanse,
أَلَمْ نَجْعَلِ ٱلْأَرْضَ مِهَٰدًا
und die Berge zu Pfählen?
And the high hills bulwarks ?
And the mountains as pegs?
وَٱلْجِبَالَ أَوْتَادًا
Und Wir haben euch als Paare erschaffen.
And We have created you in pairs,
And (have We not) created you in pairs,
وَخَلَقْنَٰكُمْ أَزْوَٰجًا
Und Wir haben euren Schlaf zum Ausruhen gemacht.
And have appointed your sleep for repose,
And made your sleep for rest,
وَجَعَلْنَا نَوْمَكُمْ سُبَاتًا
Und Wir haben die Nacht zum Kleid gemacht.
And have appointed the night as a cloak,
And made the night as a covering,
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلَّيْلَ لِبَاسًا
Und Wir haben den Tag zur Lebensführung gemacht.
And have appointed the day for livelihood.
And made the day as a means of subsistence?
وَجَعَلْنَا ٱلنَّهَارَ مَعَاشًا
Und Wir haben über euch sieben feste (Himmel) aufgebaut.
And We have built above you seven strong (heavens),
And (have We not) built over you the seven firmaments,
وَبَنَيْنَا فَوْقَكُمْ سَبْعًا شِدَادًا
Und Wir haben einen hell glühenden Leuchtkörper gemacht.
And have appointed a dazzling lamp,
And placed (therein) a Light of Splendour?
وَجَعَلْنَا سِرَاجًا وَهَّاجًا
Und Wir haben von den Regenwolken sich ergießendes Wasser herabkommen lassen,
And have sent down from the rainy clouds abundant water,
And do We not send down from the clouds water in abundance,
وَأَنزَلْنَا مِنَ ٱلْمُعْصِرَٰتِ مَآءً ثَجَّاجًا
um damit Korn und Gewächse hervorzubringen
Thereby to produce grain and plant,
That We may produce therewith corn and vegetables,
لِّنُخْرِجَ بِهِۦ حَبًّا وَنَبَاتًا
und dichtbestandene Gärten.
And gardens of thick foliage.
And gardens of luxurious growth?
وَجَنَّٰتٍ أَلْفَافًا
Gewiß, der Tag der Entscheidung ist eine festgesetzte Zeit,
Lo! the Day of Decision is a fixed time,

إِنَّ يَوْمَ ٱلْفَصْلِ كَانَ مِيقَٰتًا
der Tag, da ins Horn geblasen wird und ihr in Scharen herkommt
A day when the trumpet is blown and ye come in multitudes,
The Day that the Trumpet shall be sounded, and ye shall come forth in crowds;
يَوْمَ يُنفَخُ فِى ٱلصُّورِ فَتَأْتُونَ أَفْوَاجًا
und da der Himmel geöffnet und dann zu Toren wird
And the heaven is opened and becometh as gates,
And the heavens shall be opened as if there were doors,
وَفُتِحَتِ ٱلسَّمَآءُ فَكَانَتْ أَبْوَٰبًا
und da die Berge versetzt und dann zu einer Luftspiegelung werden.
And the hills are set in motion and become as a mirage.
And the mountains shall vanish, as if they were a mirage.
وَسُيِّرَتِ ٱلْجِبَالُ فَكَانَتْ سَرَابًا
Gewiß, die Hölle ist ein Hinterhalt,
Lo! hell lurketh in ambush,

جَزَآءً وِفَاقًا
Sie erwarteten ja niemals eine Abrechnung

For that they used not to fear any account (for their deeds),
إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ لَا يَرْجُونَ حِسَابًا
und erklärten Unsere Zeichen hartnäckig für Lüge.
They called Our revelations false with strong denial.
But they (impudently) treated Our Signs as false.
وَكَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا كِذَّابًا
Doch alles haben Wir schriftlich erfaßt.
Everything have We recorded in a Book.
And all things have We preserved on record.
وَكُلَّ شَىْءٍ أَحْصَيْنَٰهُ كِتَٰبًا
So kostet; Wir werden euch nur die Strafe mehren.
So taste (of that which ye have earned). No increase do We give you save of torment.

وَكَأْسًا دِهَاقًا
Weder hören sie darin unbedachte Rede noch Lüge.
There hear they never vain discourse, nor lying -
No vanity shall they hear therein, nor Untruth: -

On the day when the angels and the Spirit stand arrayed, they speak not, saving him whom the Beneficent alloweth and who speaketh right.
The Day that the Spirit and the angels will stand forth in ranks, none shall speak except any who is permitted by (Allah) Most Gracious, and He will say what is right.
يَوْمَ يَقُومُ ٱلرُّوحُ وَٱلْمَلَٰٓئِكَةُ صَفًّا لَّا يَتَكَلَّمُونَ إِلَّا مَنْ أَذِنَ لَهُ ٱلرَّحْمَٰنُ وَقَالَ صَوَابًا

ذَٰلِكَ ٱلْيَوْمُ ٱلْحَقُّ فَمَن شَآءَ ٱتَّخَذَ إِلَىٰ رَبِّهِۦ مَـَٔابًا

إِنَّآ أَنذَرْنَٰكُمْ عَذَابًا قَرِيبًا يَوْمَ يَنظُرُ ٱلْمَرْءُ مَا قَدَّمَتْ يَدَاهُ وَيَقُولُ ٱلْكَافِرُ يَٰلَيْتَنِى كُنتُ تُرَٰبًۢا
